As the newness of being Juniors began to vs ear off, the Class of 1957 started a year of successful activities which were all added to their store of high school memories. The hard work and cooperation ofthe Juniors won them first prize for their homecoming skit which was entitled The 64,000 Fan Show. It was patterned after the i'3F64,000 Questioni' TV program. 'iCurtain Going Upw was the title of the Junior Class Play, a lively, three-act comedy. Twenty-two Juniors took part in the annual production directed by Miss Helen Steppe. The swish ofa formal. mellow music, and soft lights helped to create the mood for the Junior-Senior Prom which was held on April 20. With Penthouse Sere- nadew as the theme, the prom was enjoyed by all. This is one ofthe annual projects which is undertaken hy the Junior Class. Another annual event was the receiving of class rings. The wearers were very thrilled and proud to display their rings for all admirers. For the Junior Red Cross project, thc Juniors had a very profitable bake sale that added 3582.00 to the Junior Red Cross treasury. FRONT ROW: J. Ebeling, D. Fritze. J. Gray, R. Chesney, D. Gaddis. N.

The plot centers around a young teacher, Miss Burgess, and the obstacles she meets and overcomes while she directs her first play. Among her problems is an involved love affair with the journalism teacher, Mr. Carter. Miss Moran, an- other teacher, is jealous and shows it in the most embarrassing situations. Tony is surprised at the goings-on on the school stage. D. Reich, J. Nve, and J. Cranamler. Adding to Miss Burgess' troubles is a student, Lorry, who gets stage-struck when a retired actress compli- ments her. Because Lorry is to have the lead in the play within the play, Nancy, another student, becomes extremely jealous, and takes violent measures to ob- tain the role. Andy, who likes Lorry, becomes jealous when he learns that locko will kiss Lorry in the play. locko is the boy with much theatrical experience. and is a bit grown-up for his age. S. Clark pleads with herfalher, J. Cranoirski, to un- derstand while f. Nye sympathizes with her. Miss Burgess .... Lorry Fuller. .. . . Nancy Leveridge. Miss Moran ..... Miss Rivers. . . Elsie ,.....

The play was centered about an antique farmhouse in Pennsylvania. The house was purchased by Newton Fuller, much to the distress of his wife, Annabelle. Mr. Kimber, the neighbor with good intentions, man- aged to cause her more distress. C. Anderson, D. Springborg, J. Schradle, A. Nott, G. Gabriel, R. Lindesmith, I. Schwendler, and F. Leriker spend a typical Sunday afternoon as R. Karp calmly sleeps on the Sunday paper. Perturbed J. Schradle allows herseU to be led around ! her new home by husband F. Lenker as R. Wilker l surveys the situation. W Learning that they cannot keep the house, F. Lenker, K. Westby, S. Stark and R. Wilker volunteer to restore the house to its original state. 'Come Tn out of the rain. , exclaims J. Kruegar as R Olson and K. We.stby happily take her advice and step inside. Able Cust Gives Outstanding Performance Adding to the confusion was Raymond, the Fullers, nephew, who rapidly won the reputation of being a little demonn by performing such stunts as throwing a skunk in Mr. Prescotfs swim- ming pool and dropping the deed to the house down a well. The Fullers learn the house will be expensive so they invite their rich Uncle Stanley to stay with them for an indefinite period, hoping he will help them pay for it. Depending on Stanley's wealth to save their house, they are distrurbed to iind that he is not wealthy at all but had lost his fortune years ago. The deed is recovered from the well and it is de- cided the Fullers should keep the house, the home Mrs. Fuller has grown to love. Written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, it all added up to fun, enjoyment and success for the Senior Class. FRONT ROW: J. Schwendler, A. Nott, C. Gabriel, ROW 2: K. Westby, C. Jacobi, C. Anderson, Miss Steppe, .l. Krueger, S.

Twelve sophomore girls, seeking to bein the journalism class next year, served as waitresses. Mr. Charles W. Oswald of Josten's was the guest speaker of the evening.

Carolers Become Cl Holiday Tradition Bringing the true Christmas spirit to Owatonna were the traditional Carolers, directed by Mr. John- son. The many downtown shoppers were caught in the spell of Christmas when the Carolers sang in the stores and through the streets, filling the hearts of many with Christmas joy and good cheer. Sponsoring the Carolers again this year were the Photo News and the late Carol Marx. Carolers were kept busy visiting the sick and the shut-in. Fulfilling the many requests, they made innumerable tours to the City Hospital and homes for the aged. Special numbers were prepared and presented to students at the grade schools. A program of carols was also presented at the State School. Even though some days were extremely cold, the Carolers were always happy and full of songs, and gave unselfishly of their time. As a reward for their steadfastness through the weeks, the Carolers were given a banquet at Hotel Owatonna, climaxing their appearance on KROC- TV. They also displayed their talents by singing on KDHL. Proving their popularity, the program was replayed during the Yuletide season.

This year the 72 piece chorus, under the leadership of President Bob Karp, Vice-President Dewey Hinder- man, and Secretary Kathy Teigen, took part in a num- ber of worthwhile concerts. The greatest piece of work done by the chorus was their selections from the Messiah'l presented at the Christmas concert, December 16. The full orchestra accompanied the chorus with Karen Westby, Marge Austin and Bonnie Garber as soloists. A Variety Show was put on by the chorus and stu- dent body February 23 for the high school and the public. lts title was Musical Flight No. 9. At each stop the typical song of that area was sung. The idea was new and successful. About 30 students took part in the District Vocal Contest, February 25. A great number of these people came out with very high ratings. Mankato was host to the Big Nine Music Festival held on May 4. The chorus presented a concert pre- ceding the Big Nine Mass Chorus concert. To the participants the Festival was a very inspiring experience. .1 me Performs Well FRONT ROW: Le-lt to right. M, Svyl-ora. B. Sablv. S. Stenart, R. GI'Hll3lIl, J. Nlussman. J. Bl'l'lSIll2'1ll, S.
